Latex config for Springer

Hm. With my ubuntu 9.04 64 bit there were a couple of things that were needed to be able to compile the provided typeinst.tex file from Springer:

• copy all .zip content into dir where you write your article
• apt-get install texlive-latex-base
• apt-get install texlive-latex-extra
• setup you graphics.cfg file:

\ExecuteOptions{dvips}

• setup your TEXINPUTS path:

#!/bin/bash

export TEXPATH

for dir in `ls /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex`; do
TEXPATH=$TEXPATH:/usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/$dir
done

export TEXINPUTS=.:./styles:./templates:./instructions:$TEXPATH
